Marvel Cinematic Universe: 10 Small Moments That Would Make A Huge Impact

5. The Maximoffs Mention Their Father

We've recently had confirmation - first by way of news circulating and then in the form of a mid-credits scene in Captain America: The Winter Soldier - that Wanda Maximoff (the Scarlet Witch) and Pietro Maximoff (Quicksilver) are due to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as new members of the Avengers (played by Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson respectively). In the Marvel comic books, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are the twin son and daughter of Magneto. Of course, Magneto is currently tied up in Fox's X-Men franchise, where he is brilliantly portrayed by Ian McKellen (and Michael Fassbender in his younger days), and has absolutely no chance of appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (or even being mentioned by name) any time soon. That said, if either Scarlet Witch or Quicksilver were to refer to "our father" at any point (particularly with any kind of detail about him that resembles Magneto), audiences would quickly start to imagine the possibility of Magneto showing up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at some point - and wouldn't that be cool?
